Maintenance and Cleaning
Regular cleaning and maintenance will extend the life of your ZOKOP Electric Glass Kettle.
General Cleaning
- Always unplug the kettle from the power outlet and allow it to cool completely before cleaning.
- Wipe the exterior of the kettle with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, as they may scratch the glass or stainless steel finish.

Descaling (Removing Mineral Deposits)
Mineral deposits (limescale) can build up inside the kettle, especially in hard water areas. Descaling regularly will ensure optimal performance.
- Fill the kettle with 1 part white vinegar and 2 parts water. Alternatively, use a commercial descaling solution following its instructions.
- Bring the mixture to a boil.
- Allow the solution to soak in the kettle for at least 30 minutes, or longer for heavy deposits.
- Pour out the solution and rinse the interior of the kettle thoroughly with fresh water several times.
- If necessary, boil fresh water in the kettle and discard it to remove any residual vinegar smell or taste.
